A fragrance originates from a harmonious composition and careful mixing of dozens of base ingredients in order to arrive at that unique, particular tone or perfume, at that brand-new, highly personalised note which will make that product stand out amongst all the others.
Feminine and sophisticated, these can take on different characteristics according to whether they derive from an individual note or from a floral bouquet. In any case, this is a large family in which various types can be distinguished:
fresh: these derive from typically spring-like flowers such as Lily of the Valley, Freesia or certain varieties of slightly fruity Rose;
green: Violet is a distinctive example, but in general these can be traced back to the “buds” of the flower, with a scent which therefore reminds us of elements nearer to the earth such as leaves or grass.
intense: these can be traced back to flowers which are typical of regions with particularly hot climates: Jasmine, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Narcissus. These notes often contain accentuated nuances which are balsamic, spiced or of animal origin.
“hybrid”: this refers to all those floral notes which are characterised by a “mix” of olfactory nuances. For example the Hyacinth has a scent which is both fresh and intense at the same time, in the same way that the violet could be considered slightly woody and not only green.
Warm and sensual origins deriving from the natural secretions of the sperm whale and today synthetically reproduced given ever-increasing concern for animal welfare. It has a particular woody-oily scent with metallic elements, but is also slightly balsamic with hints of marine. In general, this synthetic by-product mixes Vanilla, Labdanum, Benzoin, Balsam of Peru, Cistus Absolute, Patchouli and Sandalwood.
Masculine and energetic, this takes on different characteristics depending on the cases. Cedar Wood, for example, has a particularly dry smell, while Sandalwood is softer and warmer. Vetiver has an accentuated scent of earth and roots, while Patchouli, whilst still reminding us of earth, has more fruited nuances.
Intense and persistent, typically masculine, this derives from the lichen which grows on trees and, in the case of the Oak, takes on a particular green nuance. In most cases, the smell reminds us of wood, resin and earth. It is often found in bouquets in which a note of Lavender is combined with Coumarin, Bergamot, Geranium and Oakmoss.

Penetrating and spontaneous, this derives above all from leaves, stalks or freshly cut grass. Lively and bubbly, it can be traced back to certain flowers such as Violet, or fruits, such as Watermelon.

Sweet and delicate, these give softness, refinement and persistence to the compositions. Examples are Honey, Almond, Marzipan and Aniseed, or notes with velvety nuances such as Coumarin.
Energetic and vivacious, lively and charming, these are notes which mainly derive from fruits with green or yellow peel. Fragrances such as Apple, Pear, Melon and Pineapple belong to this group.
Charming and pleasant, these characterise the middle and sometimes the bottom of the fragrances. They derive from fruits with a bittersweet flavour such as Raspberry or Peach.
